Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, and Siemens unveiled a new collaboration around Internet of Things (IoT) innovation. Focused on customers in the manufacturing, energy, building technology, healthcare and railway industries, the partnership will enable customers to benefit from new data insights and services based on MindSphere, the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens.
Customers will benefit from new applications for MindSphere by TCS, enabling new digital and analytical services, such as predictive maintenance and energy monitoring. Siemens and TCS solutions will enable customers to explore new models that capitalize on IoT innovation and realize the opportunities presented by the digital economy.
The digitalization of industry - in which digital technologies are radically reshaping entire industries - is set to create significant opportunities for businesses of all shapes and sizes around the world. Initially the program will be focused in the manufacturing sector, where IoT has already gained significant traction due to the immense data volumes generated in the production process, enabling major innovations in system performance and connectivity.
Through this partnership, TCS will also support developments around MindConnect Nano, the cloud gateway that can be used to connect production to cloud-based analysis of machine and production data. In addition, this new partnership will see Siemens and TCS work to explore implementing the MindSphere core platform, including operation and support services, such as application and infrastructure management as well as analytical and testing services.
Drawing on TCS’ experience, Siemens will offer MindSphere applications as well as digital and analytical services that can reduce downtime, maintenance related costs and energy consumption, while increasing the lifetime of their machinery.
This new collaboration will see TCS apply its breadth and depth of expertise across technology areas, such as automation, IoT, and connectivity, with a focus on execution for brown field implementations in varied environments. Customers will benefit from extensive experience in industry processes across the value chain, including product design and engineering, production execution and services. These new solutions reportedly will bring to bear the full potential of Siemens’ IoT operating system.
Ralph Rio, ARC Advisory Group, commented, “Industrial IoT solutions like Siemens’ MindSphere require engineering services for a wide array of technologies including analytics, cloud, security, networking, mobile, process control systems and more for a successful implementation. The global service provider TCS has expertise in these areas, and can map in the appropriate people as a project progresses with lower cost and faster time to benefit compared to doing the project internally.”
